I can't say enough about this place. We came here for my birthday dinner on the recommendation of a relative. I made a reservation and we were seated promptly at a cute window table. Our server made great wine recommendations, based on what we planned to order for dinner and her personal favorites. She took into account any budgetary requirements. The wine was absolutely delightful. We ordered charcuterie, which was just the right amount without taking away our appetite for dinner. The pasta dishes are incredible. Our favorite was the orecchiette which had a Bolognese sauce. The desserts were exactly the right size that we could each order our own and were so delicious. We can't wait to come back!

I am happy to know that there is one more very good dining place in Stillwater. Great ( but not big) menu, delicious food, good choice of wines, nice and cozy space.

The small plates and wine selection are very good. Staff knows their vines and are open and friendly.

Most definitely, seems to be a Hot spot here in Stillwater during the week and especially the weekend. Great choice of wines and foods. This is kind of our hang out while we are here in Stillwater. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Little pricy but work every cent. Parking lot is tight, but plenty of street parking plus parking down the street at the US Bank.

Savannah provided a great beginning to a celebration dinner for pre-Christmas fun. 3 of us shared two entrees, Salad, tomato soup, a lovely bottle of wine and panna cotta for dessert! The Schuna Bay Salmon with sweet potato /cauliflower hash and braised green beans won for best dish, but the Duck Breast with couscous and lamb sausage was close behind! Savannah was totally attentive and recommended the duck entree . . Delicious! Extensive wine bar and a satisfying special evening. Plus . . Visit the wine shop on the way out and get 20% off!

I went here to meet a friend and I wanted to start by saying the location is in a very hot spot. There's a small lot right in front of it as well as lots of street parking all around. If for some reason the lot is full and there is no street parking then you can park 1 block away in a very large garage. As we walked in we were greeted right away and our server approached us and told us a little about the menu. There was lots to choose from and we ended up picking something random while we decided. The wine-by-the-bottle menu is very large and there were lots of options. The menu at Domacina changes frequently and was expecting more pasta options but it was a great mix of all types of food. The restaurant itself is very dimly lit with a nice big bar and a small oil lamp at each one. The service was spectacular and we started with a cheese board and the lamb sausage dish. The selection of cheese was fabulous and everything was rich and creamy. The bread came out with a beautiful smile. The lamb sausage was absolutely divine omg it was full of flavor and left you wanting more. For dinner, I ordered the risotto and well for some reason, it was not as good as I expected. I'm not sure what it was but the previous time I had it the risotto was better. The staff however was amazing and they made sure our glass of wine was full and they checked back about more food. The bathroom was clean and we enjoyed our time there.

Great place for dinner & wine. They have a wine shop in the restaurant and provide a discount to diners. Service matches the food-great! We alwasy take home a bottle or two when we eat here. They also have a private wine room that you can reserve for large groups.

Great food and wine! A Stillwater gem. The private wine room is definitely worth it if you like a place to visit with friends in an intimate setting.

It makes me sad to write this review as we used to love this restaurant. I emailed the restaurant to give them a chance to address the issues we encountered Friday, but they ignored me, so here I am. My wife and I went to an early dinner. The hostess was great and seated us right away. However, our waitress ignored us for a long time before taking our wine and food order. We could hear her behind the bar complaining to the bartender about another table that only ordered water to drink. Next she was eating behind the bar in plain sight, and walked through the restaurant munching on her food. She finally took our drink and food order. Once we received our food, she disappeared. She never checked in to hear if our food was ok. My wife ordered pasta. The scallops were ok, but the pasta was flavorless. I ordered risotto that was supposed to have beef tips. There were 3 slivers of beef and about 1/2 cup of risotto. $30 each for small, mediocre entrees. This restaurant has instituted shrinkflation and inflation simultaneously. When our waitress was nowhere to be found, I flagged down the bartender, who has been awesome every time she's served us. She got us our check and just as we did so, the waitress finally appeared and tried to up sell us on desert. What a joke. I'm sad to say we won't be back. I guess they're doing so well that they don't need semi regular customers to come back. Goodbye Domacin. Chris - please resend me your email as I did not receive it. I received the automated reservation email and the thank you for joining, so I'm sure you have my email address. I checked spam and it didn't go there.
We were doing a little bar crawl in Stillwater over the Fourth of July weekend and had Domacin Wine Bar recommended to us by a server, so we decided to check it out! We were greeted quickly and while the indoor dining area was full and required a reservation, we were seated on the patio right away. The indoor section was laid out beautifully with a long wood bar and lots of light, and the patio had lots of room between tables and nice umbrellas for shade. The wine selection was so interesting and different than what is usually offered! We ordered 5 glasses and split them amongst four of us, making our own flight. The server was great with providing recommendations and even laid out the glasses in the order he recommended tasting them. We didn't order any food since we were headed to dinner afterward, but the menu looked great and will absolutely give us a reason to come back. If you like wine, I highly recommend this hidden gem!
